[Pythonmac-SIG] Has anyone running vtk+python on OSX?

[Robb Brown]

Have a look in your /Library/Frameworks and see if there's a  
Tcl.framework and Tk.framework there.  If not (or maybe even if there  
is) try downloading   
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/TclTkAqua-8.4.1- 
Jaguar.dmg?download

This is a dmg file that should mount itself.  There's a standard mac  
Package inside you can double click to install.  You have to have an  
admin password.

I'm about half way through building VTK now, but haven't gotten to the  
Tcl/Tk stuff yet so I don't know if this works or not.
